Sažetak

The research presented in this article was made possible by the discovery of a certain number of fragments originating from the 15th century Trogir notary books, kept within the legacy of Ivan Kukuljević Sakcinski in the Archives of Croatian Academy of Science and Arts in Zagreb. Those pages with documents of art-historical interest were collected by Kukuljević during his brief stay in Trogir in mid-19th century. Some of them are mentioned or interpreted in his biographical dictionary of South Slavic artists (Slovnik umjetnikah jugoslavenskih, published in Zagreb, 1858–1860) but since then those documents have not been studied by art historians. This article discusses the evidence concerning monuments and artists of the fi rst half of the 15th century. The fi rst part of the text is dedicated to the construction of Dominican monastery of the Holy Cross on the island of Čiovo, in the vicinity of Trogir, in the years 1436–1458, and the role played by prothomagister Stephanus Brachus of Split. Second part is about goldsmith Matej Pomenić, a native of Trogir who made his career in Šibenik. The documentary evidence presented here – a commission for the silver cross for the monastery of the Holy Cross, as well as the testament he made before pilgrimage to Rome in the Holy Year of 1450 – shows that he had also lived and worked in Trogir. The last chapter deals with the commission and construction of the fi rst of 15th century building annexes to the Romanesque Trogir Cathedral – the Gothic St Jerome’s chapel (1438–1446) – made by builders Marco Gruato from Venice and Nikola Račić from Trogir. All documents, along with supplementary written evidence found in Trogir notary archive (in Zadar State archives) and in the Archives of Croatian Academy in Zagreb, are published in the appendix.
